The newer, brighter & shinier Random Thoughts Thread [R]

Got mine last Fall - only setback I"ve had was because I did too much too soon. You're fit, you won't have any problems.

 

I like looking at women ... don't like looking at VAR....... hmmmm....

 

How did you overdo and how do you feel now? I tend to push a bit although it worked fine for my knee replacement.
I can walk or trot. Ah walk well and for long periods on the level but I can't step up now without real pain. I'm seeing the quack tomorrow for my reg. checkup. I'll push it then.
PM me if you like. Inquiring minds need to know

 

Sure! I just finished opening a 'conversation' with you on this site, see if you can see it? Is that what you mean about a PM?

 

On the nail. You my friend are a techie genious. Whereas I can't even spell it.
Thanks.

 

If I found myself ever remembering that (Or reading Hobo's VAR rules as interpreted by Moses) I would immediately reach for Anna Karenina or the Charterhouse of Parma!

 

get crackin'

 

Don't make me come back there.

 

Watching Engerlands womans playing the Argies. Damn Argies play like Donkeys.

80thmin 1-0 to Engerland. Should be more but the finishing isn't good and the Argie keeper is good.

It's a bit like watching the Pool playing a lower prem team.

F'kin Aly Wagner.
If the keeper missed that it's a goal.
If the keepers punch was shorter the Argies have a chance.
If the defender missed that it's a tap in.
All in that warbling monotone.

 

ink blot test??

 

Mary Land Scouse. Cool!

 

I need this one.

that's a country? a region in Balochistan? what???

 

no such place...

 

Looks like a buffalo fetus...

 

That's a great trip for them. Paris would be an excellent place for mum and daughter to wander about between games. Great City.

 

Happy Fathers' Day

 

here's a rule change to keep an eye on ... god knows what "logic" is being used here. surely a red is a red is a red ??!!

Yellows and reds
Old law: Play may not be restarted until the referee has finished issuing a yellow or red card, if they have decided to award one.

New law: If the attacking team wishes and the referee has not started to issue the card, they can take a quick free-kick at this point so long as it creates a goalscoring opportunity. The referee will then issue the card when the ball next goes out of play.
However, if the referee was about to send off the player who has given away the foul for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, they will only receive a yellow card if the attacking team takes the quick free-kick.

Why? IFAB say it is unfair if an attack is 'lost' to give out a yellow or red card, as quick free-kicks are already allowed if there is no card involved.

 

how in the name of all that is good, can that be effectively sorted out? does that mean the ball was kicked in the direction of the goal, and there were players on the kicking team who might be able to score ( eventually )???

 

so we have new rules for

• VAR
• Handball
• Subs
• Goal kicks
• Yellows vs reds
• Dropped balls
• Throw ins
• Defensive walls
• Ball striking the ref
